Answer provided by our tutors
2/3 x 2/5 = 4/15
When multiplying fractions, always multiply straight across...
numerator x numerator
and denominator x denominator
Additional info:
If you can cancel any numbers, then do so first. For example:
2/4 x 4/6 =
You can look at the 2 and 6 that are diagonal, and cancel 2 from each to get:
1/4 x 2/3 =
Then you can look at the 4 and 2 that are diagonal, and cancel 2 from each to get:
1/2 x 1/3 =
Then you still multiply across the top and across the bottom to get the answer:
1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6
